10 Video Game Boss Battles Who Tricked You Into Thinking You'd Won
5. Dr. Ned - Borderlands: Zombie Island Of Dr. Ned
In Borderlands' DLC "Zombie Island of Dr. Ned," you'll eventually end up facing off against the titular maniacal doc, which turns out to be nothing more than a short firefight which most vaguely skilled players could get through in less than a square minute.
Almost immediately after his corpse hits the floor, the game's credits begin to roll, but after a few seconds Dr. Ned re-emerges, literally slicing through the credits and shouting, "It's not over yet!"
Ned has been resurrected as a zombified version of himself, Undead Ned, for a more typical final boss fight, set in an arena where Ned is a ridiculous bullet sponge. It's not a tough fight by any means, but certainly requires more effort than that initial throwdown.
Still, he put up a better fight than Borderlands 2's Professor Nakayama by any stretch, who couldn't even make it down some stairs without killing himself.
